New Online Payment System for Student Lunch Accounts

Monday, August 21, 2017 - 12:04

Starting in the fall of 2017, District 833 Nutrition Services will be switching from PayPAMS to SchoolCafé due to a technology upgrade. Parents will no longer be able to utilize PayPAMS to view balances or deposit funds into their child’s lunch account. Account balances shown in PayPAMS will automatically transfer to SchoolCafé once an account is created and students are added.

Add your student(s) to your account using your student’s school ID number, which can be found on Parent Portal.

SchoolCafé allows for more options for parents, and is very user-friendly.With a SchoolCafé account you will be able to set email low balance reminders, schedule automatic payments, review student purchases online and apply for free and reduced meal benefits.

SchoolCafé also has a free mobile app available for use on any smart device. However, free and reduced meal benefit applications must be completed through a web browser.

Students can still pay for their school meals with cash or check.

If you have any questions about setting up a new account or the system you can reach Nutrition Services at 651-425-6280.
